Item description from seller

Discover the lively, often riotous world of eighteenth-century Oxford in Graham Midgley?s engaging social history. Packed with vivid anecdotes from period diaries, newspapers, and memoirs, this book brings to life the eating, drinking, sports, theater, street spectacles, and daily dramas of students and dons in a still-rural university town. Humorous, richly illustrated, and full of insight into hierarchy, authority, women, and leisure, it is a genial guide to a colorful era. This very well-kept 182-page paperback features illustrated glossy covers with only very light shelf wear; pages are crisp and clean, and the binding and text block are square and tight. A highly desirable copy?full refund if not satisfied.

Store description

Since 2005, Shelley and Son Books has been passionate about books, and preserving their importance for current and future generations. We believe that virtue and beauty have a close relationship. By reading we gain knowledge. In knowledge we find things that inform our choices and beliefs. Therefore, as booksellers, we see that books have an aesthetic value and a heuristic value. We specialize in The Inklings, primarily "The Seven'": C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, Dorothy Sayers, G. K. Chesterton, George MacDonald, Owen Barfield and Charles Williams. A sub-specialty is our significant collection of Christian Theology. But you'll also find works across the centuries, first editions, signed copies, and even modern books, too, across a broad selection of categories and genres. Customer service is of utmost importance to us, and our friendly staff is always happy to help. We assure our clients books of quality, as each copy is carefully graded and shipped with care. Located in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina, we can be found on Main Street in Hendersonville, North Carolina, (just south of Asheville). We are primarily an online bookstore, but we invite you to make an appointment for an on-site visit! Shelley and Son Books is owned by Stan Shelley. …
